SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 786,670, dated April 4,1905.

Application filed March 17, 1904. Serial No. 193,592.

To all whmn it may concern:

desired, in which latter case it becomes distinctly a cabinet-kitchen,or a kitchen in a cabinet.

- One of the principal objects of the invention is to overcome numerousdisadvantages and objections frequently encountered in the use of othercontrivances hitherto devised with like ends in view and to provide astructure of this character which is simple and inexpensive tomanufacture besides being commodious and possessing the capacity forlong and repeated service.

The above and additional objects are attained by means substantiallysuch are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of acabinetkitchen embodying myimprovements, the swinging section being shown in open position to moreclearly indicate the interior organization of parts or elementsemployed.

Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view taken about onthe line 2 2 of Fig. 3.Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the lower part of the stationary section,showing more. clearly the manner of mounting or supporting therein therevoluble series of receptacles and the gas or other stove, parts beingbroken away and in section. Fig. i is a view in perspective showing theconstruction and organization of the revoluble series of receptacles.Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional elevation in detail of the revolubleshelves employed in the upper part of the stationary section, and Fig. 6is a similar view showing more clearly the manner of mountmg theswinging blns upon supports therefor disposed on the inner side of theswmging sec- Before proceeding with a more detailed de-- scription itmay be stated that in the form of my improvements herein shown I employa structure comprising a stationary section and a swinging sectionapplied thereto, said latter section being adapted to be carried againstth first in such manner as to completely inclose all the interior partsor elements of the structure. The upper part of the interior of thestationary section is of special construction, as is the lower partthereof, and mounted in said lower part is a revoluble series ofspecially-constructed receptacles, together with a specially-constructedswinging frame for the support of a gas or other stove, as will bepresently explained. The upper part of the interior of the swingingsection is also of special construction, and while I have hereinrepresented my improvements in a certain preferred embodiment it will beunderstood. of course, that 1 am not limited to the precise detailsthereof in practice, since immaterial changes therein may be resorted tocoming within the scope of my invention Specific reference being had tothe drawings by the designating characters marked thereon, 1 representsthe stationary section of my improved structure, the same beingsubstantially rectangular and comprising the base 2, the top portion 3,and the side pieces 4. Movably suspended on the vertical edge of one ofsaid side pieces by hinges 5 or otherwise is the corresponding edge ofone of the side pieces 6 of the swinging section 7 of the structure, thelatter side pieces being connected by a top portion 8 and that one ofthem farthest from the hinges 5 beingprovided with a hook or otherdevice 9 for engaging with an eye or keeper 10 on the outer face of thecorresponding side piece at of the stationary section, thus to lock thetwo sections together when the swinging section is carried against thestationary section, as is apparent. To facilitate movement of theswinging section over the surface of the floor on which the structurestands, one or more casters or rollers 11 may be mounted at the loweredge thereof, if desired, and it will be noted on reference to Figs. 1and 3 that the interior of the upper part of the stationary section 1 isprovided with a plurality of drawers 12 between the horizontal shelves 11 and 15, the space between these shelves beingsubdivided by verticalpartitions 13, the shelf 14- being notched or recessed at 16 toreceiveand support the lower end of an ordinary sil'teror other articleor utensil 17, while the shelf 15 combines with the top portion 3 in theformation of a compartment 18, in which are located, preferably,duplicate (or more or less) 'ies of rotatable shelves 18 those of eachseries being rigid with a vertical tube 19, (see Fig. 5,) passingthrough which is a rod 20, having its lower end secured in the shelf 15and its up or end bent or turned at 21 in rigid relation with the u piersurface of the top piece in this way said shelves 18 may be rotatedfor any purpose (.lesired, as will be understood.

The interior of the upper part of the swinging section '1 of thestructure is preferably DiOVldO/Qi with l'iorizoutal shelves 522 and 23,alin with each other and also with the shelf 1 1C 0 she stationarysection 1, while mounted above the shelfiiffi and between a verticalpartition and one of the side pieces (5 of said swii'igii'ig section 7are preferably other horizontal shelves for the sur port of differentarticies, a coinpartn'iei'it 26 thus being formed which maybe utilizedfor any desired purpose.

Mounted lJelltli'tiill the shelf 23, preferably forwardly theirtrai'isverso central points and by means of hinges 27, (see Fig. 6,)attached thereto at their under sides and to the outer face of astationary horizontal support 28, are preferably two (but may be more orless) bins :29, which, as will be seen, tend of their own weight to becarried inwardly to closed positions, it being only necessary to swingthem outwardly for the purpose of access thereto.

The interior of the lower part of the stationary section 1 of thestructure is provided at a suitable distance beneath the shelf M withwhat 1 term a worhii'ig shelf 30, on which bread may be kneaded or otheroperations performed, said shelf being preferably wider than the sidepieces 4., but less in length than the distance between the same, itbeing noted also that the base 2 is practically of equal width with thisshelf, while the latter 's held r supported. at its outer and innerends, respectively, by vertical partitions 31 and 31, (see Figs. 1, 2,and 3,) thus forming two compartments 32 and 35, the top of the latterbeing open, as shown. The position of the shelf 30 is such as not tointerfere with the swinging bins 2% on closing the swinging section '7of the structure, and mounted in said compartment 32 by means of pintles3i, seated in notches or plates therefor in the said shelf 30 and base2, are series of revoluble receptacles made up of the vertical members36 and 37, extending substantially at right angles to each other andunited by the bottoms 38, which are preferably inclined inwardly anddownwardly, (see Fig. 1,) by which to readily receive and hold acircular vessel, for instance, without danger of the latter rolling outof place. This series of receptacles may be revolved to bring any one ormore of them to the position desired, and it will be noted that each ofthe supporting-pintles 34 therefor is formed or provided with anangle-plate 39, fitting in the angle formed by the intersection of theinnermost members 36 and 37, said angleplates being secured in place byscrews (set-screws, if desired) 40, and by re-' moving the upper one ofsaid plates it will be seen that the entire series of said revolublereceptacles may be removed from the compartment 32.

Secured in proper position to the vertical edge of that one of the sidepieces 4: nearest to the vertical partition 31 are stationaryhinge-plates e1, upon which are pivo lly mounted movable hingeplates-12, 1",, connected by a vertical member of a supporting-frame @1101 astove(either gas, oil, or gasolene) 45, having suitable burners -16,rigidly united by acornmunicating fuel-pipe &7, which in turn is inmovable connection near its outer end, at 48, with another pipe 19,jointed at 50 to a fuel-supply pipe 51, which may be supplied with fuelfromany suitable source. The said frame H is provided with lateralbranches for directly supporting the top plate of the stove, as shown,and it is apparent from the construction and organization set forth thatthe said stove structure may be easily swung or turned outwardly to anydesired position for use and also that when turned inwardly it will beentirely inclosed with the other interior elements when the swingingsection of the structure is carried against the stationary section inthe manner already explained.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the compartment 33 is preferably utilized forthe accommodation or reception of an oven 52, which may be employed inconnection with the stove, if so desired.

The stationary section of the structure may, if desired, be providedwith suitable brackets 55, by which to secure said section to the sideof a wall or other permanent support, and the burners of the stove areprovided with suitable regulating-coclrs 56.

It is thought that the construction, operation, and advantages of myimprovements will be fully understood without further elucidationthereof.

Having thus described myinvention, i ciaim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1.
